• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

I ordered some Caberfloor chipboard today for my workshop floor. The very helpful person I spoke with said that when it is laid straight over a concrete floor it needs an underlay. I am not sure that is the case and wondered if anyone could give me an informed opinion.

Cheers.
 
One little sticking up snot of concrete, one little piece of grit, one slight hollow or hump and you'd be wishing you'd put down an underlay. If your concrete is perfect, your boots absolutely spotless, and your working methods in laying it are immaculate.......well, you might get away with it.
 
In principle a chipboard floor is about as rigid as laminate, so the same underlay ought to work. The key thing will be to work out how thick it needs to be to absorb whatever unevenness is in your concrete.
